Hello everyone! I'm new here :) I joined because I need your help! (and I hope that this post is ok here)

Tomorrow I have a sort-of-dress-up party and we have to dress up as characters from films. I have this ruffled shirt (3/4 sleeve, waist-lenght) (looks a bit like the one here, just shorter: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9yNOpEE8TbRV2zaYjrCdh7TXChnh7BFkIQsnYxPi527R-E-j3cQ ) and I can't think of any kind of costume (except perhaps Jack Sparrow) that I could make with it. Can any of you think of anything? I'm just collecting ideas, maybe I'll come up with something myself :)

Hi all, I just joined this group. I'm always known as the hostess in my group of friends, so it's no surprise that I've joined.

Anyway, I'm coming to you all with a bit of a dilemna...I'm going camping tomorrow and made jell-o shots to bring on the trip. I just made them last night, but when I checked them this morning they still hadn't settled. There's a good chance I put to much vodka in. Is there any way to remedy this, or do I need to toss them out and start from scratch? I don't know if it makes a difference, but I used agar instead of regular jello, since I don't eat gelatin.

On Saturday I hosted a garden tea party bridal shower for duckierose. Ladies were asked to wear dresses and froofy large hats and a pretty darn girly event was thrown. duckierose is very well loved by all of her friends for which I am extremely lucky because I had a TON of offers to help. Of course I accepted. (Momma didn't raise no fool!)

This community has been a little dead recently. Thought I'd liven it up with a post about a party I recently helped out on as the florist/seamstress (for banners and chair decor)/photographer.

The host was Kristeen of Kristeen Labrot Events, a wedding coordinator I work with frequently. She was going for a vintage look with colors of light pink and apple green with accents of blues and yellows....( read moreCollapse )

I'm new to this comm and I'm hoping everyone will provide me with some awesome advice.

My brother somehow got roped into throwing a baby shower for his friend and since he knew nothing about doing that he passed it to big sister. I like throwing parties so I had no problem arranging all of this.

Now here comes the problems, we're both students so our budget is almost non existent. The party consist mostly of college students and some adults mixed from both genders. I'm looking for prizes that would be adequate and easily able to purchase on a meager budget. The thing is too I want something that can appeal to either gender and probably won't get thrown away, otherwise why am I wasting my money?

So far I have managed to get most of my supplies at the dollar store, and I have planned some simple games.

Any suggestions would be awesome, as well as any way to actually keep the party flowing and itinerary!
